The residence was consecutively occupied by Marcia Ward Cleaves, the respected matriarch of the prominent Cleaves family, who lived to the age of 104, and her daughter, Alice Ward Cleaves Williams, who also enjoyed an extraordinary life spanning 105 years. The current owners purchased the home from the Alice Williams Estate to ensure stewardship of this cherished property. With deep ties to Addison's earliest settlers, the home offers a rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of the town's history while creating your own legacy for generations to come. Adding to the property's remarkable history is the detached garage, relocated to the site in 1960 from Tumbledown Dick Road, where it originally served as the Town of Addison's blacksmith shop. A fascinating reminder of its past, the original blacksmith's forge remains intact, offering a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship and daily life of an earlier era. This one-of-a-kind feature enhances the property's historical significance and provides an exceptional conversation piece for history enthusiasts and preservation-minded buyers alike. Encompassing approximately 2,590 square feet, including the attached rear workshop and barn, this spacious home showcases the quality craftsmanship of its era. Soaring 8-foot ceilings, expansive windows that fill the rooms with natural light, and beautifully preserved original handcrafted woodwork create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Rich in character and architectural detail, the home's generous layout offers exceptional space and endless possibilities for comfortable living, creative pursuits, or future restoration.
